Wooo...I dunno man that was intense. Math section was a breeze. I screwed up on a lot of the useless general knowledge science questions though (can't believe I messed up that question on bronchi, trachea, esophacus, pharyx in retrospect). Couldn't answer like 4 or 5 of the challenge math questions either; ran out of time . What did you guys get for the last one (with the sandwiches, coffee, etc)? It was an easy question but I was short on time and think I may have screwed it up. I hope my score is high enough that they'll bother to look at my rec/grades (cus those will get me in I think). Was anyone else scared by all the nerdage? There were several thousand hungry-looking asians around the campus when I went, it was rather intimidating...

i got 1.20. not sure if its right though. Math was really easy. Science was ok though. challenge math was really hard. I am happy us juniors have an advantage above those freshman. I hope the fact that I have done research at a college will get me in.

challenge math was definitely a lot easier than last year's...and im not even joking lol i remember last year's acceptance rate being something as crazy as 15:1 or something.. heard more than 3000 people applied for 250 spots lol
my guess is that more people hv applied this year..probably like 4000 for 300 spots? lol

kinda easy

I think the hard questions were kinda easy cause i think I answered about 9 questions right and I am only a freshman. I thought the science questions were hard because I only had biology honors this year.
It is true that freshmans have a curve or something because when I went to take the test I found out it was the same test for everyone.

oh, does any one know what was the answer for 25bsquared and 52b squared and had to find x. (I remember it was something like that).


Did you guys guess on questions, I guessed on about 50 percent of the science questions :/
